Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Blue cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 sheet Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your BBQ or grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F or 175°C).
With a sharp knife, slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices, being careful not to cut all the way through the bread. Keep the bottom crust intact to hold the slices together.
In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted butter, crumbled blue cheese, fresh parsley, thyme, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until it forms a soft, spreadable mixture.
Using a butter knife or small spatula, spread the cheese and herb mixture generously between each bread slice. Ensure that the mixture is evenly distributed for full flavor in every piece.
Wrap the prepared bread loaf tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil, ensuring the top and sides are fully covered to trap in heat during the cooking process.
Place the foil-wrapped bread on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping the bread halfway through, until the butter and cheese have melted and the bread is warmed through.
Carefully remove the bread from the grill and unwrap the foil. For a crispy finish, return the uncovered bread to the grill and toast each side for 1-2 minutes until slightly charred.
Slice the bread all the way through and serve warm. Enjoy as is or alongside your favorite barbecue mains!
